In Tale of the Body thief and Memnoch The Devil Lestat claims that he had slept with many villagers by the time he was fifteen. If older vampires turned to dust in Memnoch The Devil how did Louis survive going into the sun in Merrick without an infusion of more powerful blood to begin with?ħ. But by Blood Canticle he's developed Armand's personality traits in that he kills rogues and rule breakers who need guidance even when they beg for their lives. In Memnoch The Devil Lestat made a vow never to kill anyone, human or vampire, ever again. What happened to all his talk of vampire eyes?ĥ. I know Louis is weakest of the vampires but he still is supposed to have eyes stronger than a mortal.

In Memnoch The Devil Louis requires a magnifying glass to view the details of illustrations drawn by mortals. The only explanation for this would be that Quinn has no sense of left or right and Lestat's extremely forgetful.Ĥ. (Trust me, this is not something I'd forget or get confused- Believe me.) In Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle Anne says it's his right eye. In Memnoch The Devil it was Lestat's left eye that got ripped out and was then given back. The start of her sloppy lack of editing.ģ. I don't like how this book isolates itself from non-Catholic fans as I already explained.Ģ. But there were certain things I definitely did not like.ġ. The plot itself isn't too bad and for the most part Lestat still behaves like himself (unlike that being in Blood Canticle). Anne Rice, today, hints that it was all real. For a while it's unclear whether Lestat really went on this journey or if he had some sort of break down or was tricked by powerful spirits in an elaborate illusion. An eye got ripped out but he manages to get it back later. Lestat goes on a journey of Heaven and Hell and comes back quite worse for ware. Now for a lot of people it seems Lestat exists in a solely Catholic mythos, completely segregating the non-Catholic fans who had liked to imagine Lestat in their reality.

People of any religious background could see Lestat existing in their own real world. There was no certainty as to who or what created the universe, just like our world. The character of Lestat existed in a world that could easily be our own. I just feel it would have been better if Anne Rice wrote this as a stand alone novel without using her pre-established characters. The Devil tells his side of things to a vampire.

It's not so much that Memnoch The Devil has a bad premise.
